Re: getting my own sax?

I would agree with the Yamaha YAS-23 recommendation. You might be able to get a fairly good used one from the auction site for around $450. I haven't priced them lately, but a couple years ago, I was outbid on several.

I ended up buying a used King 613 locally for about $325. The intonation is great, and it really plays nicely. I think it would be a great choice for pep band, marching band, and for doublers. The only drawback (for my purposes it's not a major issue) is that it doesn't have a high F-sharp key.

I've also played some older Bundy II altos, and they're decent instruments, although most (or all?) of them lack the high F-sharp key.
